HEAVY FLOATING ICE FROM
BANK TO BANK.
The HarbOr Clear Of Steamboats,
The Ice Grinding Along the
Tennessee Shore.

The Mississippi river was bankfull
OF heavy Aoaiing ice yesterday, and
which seemed TO become heavier by
nightfsll. Steamboats, left the land
log, 1t being regarded as unsafe, the
heavy ice grinding along the edge OF
the shore ice in an angry and danger
Gus manner. Tho steamer Chickassw
was the last boat to leave the levee.
She steamed down TO Fort Pickering
for shelter, but finding that location
dangerous she was headed up the
river and secured safe berth in the
bay formed by the comparatively still
water near the mouth Of Wolf river,
where many other boats lay safe and
snug. Below Fort Pickering point
and under its shelter were boats we'll
secured by shore lines ana out of the
rush and crush OF the heavy floating
ice which swept down the current oil
the main channel in an almost resist
less manner. At the foot OF Beale
street and in comparatively slack
water a number Of produce hstbosts,
tugs and the eand dredRer Red Fox
were harbored, but the Red Fox bad
steam up prepared for emergencies.
The scene from the bluff was pictur.
etque, resembling an arctic winter
view. From up the river, away
around Hopefeld Point, down
10 Presidents Island, distance
OF some two miles, the river was vast
sheet OF broken floating Ice, and from
IL came ominious "swishing" sounds
as it chsffsd and ground itself along
the big sweep or bend. Down at the
edge of the landing the ice presented
a still more dangerous appearance.
From the bank and cut some thirty
feet the ice made fas! to the shore
and the floating Ice ground along II
and tumbled immense cakes on top o.
it, where they rested, and thereby
kept extending the solid shore ict
further out into the angry stream
The grinding noise as the ice swirled
crushed and sheered off became
louder and louder as immense sheet!
impinged upon the frozen shore. The
foes upheaved, aud masses were
showed up endwise and thrown fal
into the air by the tremendous forct
of the impact. 1t was N6therr
scene in semi-tropical cline, anC
thereby strange and weird. Not {
boat was in sight except the powerful
steam transfer OF the Kansas Cit!
railroad, making q slow and laboriou
crossing away down near Fort Picker
ing. The revetment put down by tn,
United states Engineer Corps, from
the foot Of Jefferson street up to tn
mouth OF Wolf river and above tina
stream, seemed to be uudisturbed b,
the ice food and to successfully resis
its crushing and tearing. Around tn
grain elevator were two steamboat
fast in the shore ice and perfectly safe
and there they will remain safe unit
the shore ice gives way-then the dan
ger will commence.
